KERBAL HARD + UNCUT | Episode 168 | 100% Stock


 

7 hours ago, jimmymcgoochie said:You should also look at KerbNet when in a polar orbit for resource scanning and use it to mark locations which have a lot of ore and relatively flat terrain, then use those navigation markers to aim at when landing a mining vessel later.

Not all probe cores are equal though, so add a RoveMate on top of the scanner as it has the widest field of view and can cover the biggest swathe of the surface in one go.

Some really good advice, thank you….

 

Can you tell I haven’t used stock ISRU much at all lol

You’ve fallen for the trap of the stock resource display- just because it seems to suggest there’s ore there, doesn’t mean there actually is. You need to increase the cutoff to at least 50% to filter out the dross and be left with the real hotspots.

Ore is biome dependent, so find a biome with good concentrations and all the locations of that biome will have similar levels.

No, you don’t waste fuel on a plane change or a weird radial burn, you do a prograde burn at the Jool periapsis to boost the apoapsis beyond Tylo’s orbit so it falls back straight into its SOI at the descending node; Tylo’s gravity would take care of the rest.

You didn’t set an alarm for the Eve lander mission, or the crewed Eeloo flight. You’ll also want to put a burn at the Dres mission’s apoapsis to fine-tune your closest approach for some Very Aggressive AerobrakingTM to try and slow down.

This is just another lesson in “don’t trust the stock alarm clock, click on the trajectory and ‘warp here’ instead”.
